Weapon damage values

15/08/2023 - Combat Shotgun Buff
Apparently, the Combat Shotgun was deemed to be too underpowered by the community, and you people aren’t wrong at all.

It shared the same damage values as the Sawn-off Shotgun, but no longer as we’ve tweaked it today.

Close distance value buffed from 18 -> 24
Medium distance value buffed from 12 -> 15
Passenger drive-by buffed from 9 -> 10

Hopefully these changes make the weapon worth using now.

The Colt-45 has received a very slight change aswell, changing its close value from 9 -> 10. We want to slowly keep tweaking this weapon till we feel like it’s a viable choice rather than having it completely forgotten.

I would also like to ask the communities opinions about the current values. To me they seem pretty balanced, but is there a weapon you feel is weak, or very strong? If so, give your thoughts and we’ll look into them.

21/08/23 - Country and Sniper Rifle nerf

With the removal of the reload animation for both the Country and Sniper Rifle, they've become incredibly overpowered with the current damage values and would pretty much render every other weapon useless. To balance this, and also not make them feel like worthless guns to use at the same time, we'll be tweaking them today.

Country Rifle:

Close distance value nerfed from 50 -> 41
Medium distance value nerfed from 39 -> 35
Far distance value remains the same -> 30

Sniper Rifle:

Close distance value nerfed from 58 -> 44
Medium distance value nerfed from 49 -> 38
Far distance value nerfed from 40 -> 35

10/02/2026 - MP5 Passenger DB Fix

Passenger Driveby value nerfed 10 > 5

We have forgotten to adjust this weapons value a month ago with the major rework. The AK47 now remains the best for passenger DB, which sits at 7 (if not counting all shotguns which have 9).

18/02/2026 - MP5 Fix/Balancing

The MP5 was originally intended to have its values set to 12, 10, 9 respectively. However this wasn’t the case and it turned out to have way more beefier numbers, which were 13, 12, 11.

Today it’s going to have a proper nerf as it proved to be way too overpowered and basically overtook other rifles in the game.

Close distance value nerfed 13 > 11
Medium distance value nerfed 12 > 9
Far distance value nerfed 11 > 8
